NAME

       sendmail - sendmail emulator interface for nullmailer

SYNOPSIS

       sendmail [ flags ] [ recipients ] < message

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  is a front end program for nullmailer-inject and nullmailer-smtpd.  It is used by programs
       that expect a sendmail interface for sending email.   After  parsing  the  command-line  arguments,  this
       program executes either nullmailer-inject or nullmailer-smtpd depending on the presence of the -bs option
       on the command-line.  See the documentation  for  nullmailer-inject  for  details  on  how  messages  are
       reformatted and queued.
